The Yalta Conference was held in February 1945 in Crimea, Ukraine and brought together the "Big Three" Allied leaders - President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union. The goals of the conference were to discuss the post-war reorganization of Germany and issues of reestablishing security and global cooperation. Some of the key agreements reached included dividing Germany into occupation zones, the Soviet Union joining the allies in the war against Japan in exchange for territorial gains, and the founding of the United Nations to replace the discredited League of Nations.

The Cold War Notes Part 1
The Cold War began between the US and USSR after WWII due to tensions from their differing economic systems of capitalism and communism, as well as democratic vs authoritarian governments. This led to an arms race with nuclear weapons and the formation of opposing alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The two sides adopted policies of deterrence to prevent direct conflict and containment to stop the spread of communism without war. This maintained an unstable balance of power for over 40 years known as the Cold War.
Origins of the Cold War
The Cold War began due to mutual distrust between the US and USSR following World War II. Though they allied against Hitler, ideological differences grew after the war as the Soviet Union installed communist governments across Eastern Europe and ignored promises of self-determination. Both sides wanted to spread their political and economic systems, seeing the other as inherently evil, leading to a policy of containment by the US and an arms race involving nuclear weapons that raised the stakes of a potential conflict.

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between Western capitalism led by the United States and Eastern communism led by the Soviet Union. There was no direct military conflict, but instead tensions manifested through threats, espionage, propaganda, and competitive arms buildups. Several conferences were held during and after World War II between Western allies and the Soviet Union to discuss postwar reorganization and establishment of international organizations like the United Nations. However, the Iron Curtain divided Europe, with Western nations forming NATO in response to the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact alliance. Germany was divided into capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany, separated by the Berlin Wall.
Cold War Timeline
The Cold War timeline documents several major events between the Western allies (US, UK) and the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1955. It begins with the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences in 1945 where the postwar occupation of Germany was discussed. Churchill's 1946 Iron Curtain speech condemned Soviet actions in Europe and tensions rose further. The Truman Doctrine of 1947 promised aid to countries fighting communism. The 1948 Berlin Airlift supplied West Berlin after the Soviet blockade. Finally, the Warsaw Pact formed in 1955 as a Soviet-led military alliance in response to the Western NATO alliance.

The document discusses the period from 1945-1960 following World War 2. It describes the tensions that emerged between Western allies like the US and UK and the Soviet Union, including the division of Germany and establishment of satellite states in Eastern Europe behind an "Iron Curtain." It also summarizes early conflicts in the Cold War such as the Berlin Blockade and Korean War, as well as domestic tensions in the US over communism and spies.
The Cold War
The Cold War was a period of tension between the United States and Soviet Union from the mid-1940s to early 1990s. They competed for global influence through military alliances, arms races, and proxy wars. While Canada officially remained neutral in conflicts like Vietnam, it still played roles through organizations like the UN and was influenced by tensions between the two superpowers.

1) The Yalta Conference of 1945 had major geopolitical consequences that drastically altered borders and governments in Europe and Asia. It granted Soviet leader Stalin significant territorial concessions and influence over China, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
2) FDR made sweeping concessions to Stalin at Yalta regarding the borders and governments of Poland, China, and other nations without ensuring protections for their sovereignty. This empowered Stalin's imperialist ambitions and communist expansion.
3) The decisions at Yalta regarding the occupation and administration of Germany paved the way for the mass expulsion of ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe, resulting in over 20 million refugees and the deaths of millions. It also failed to prevent communist takeovers in
End of WWII - Path of the Cold War
The Cold War emerged from tensions between capitalist Western nations led by the United States and communist Eastern nations led by the Soviet Union. Key events that highlighted this conflict included the Berlin Blockade in 1948, when the USSR tried to force the Western allies out of Berlin, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact in 1949 and 1955 respectively. The Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine aimed to contain the spread of communism through economic and military aid to countries resisting Soviet influence. An arms race developed as both sides increasingly developed more advanced nuclear weapons throughout the late 1940s and 1950s, maintaining a tense stalemate known as mutually assured destruction.
World War II
World War 2 began in 1939 with Germany invading Poland. Major battles included Blitzkrieg across Europe, the Battle of Britain, Pearl Harbor, Midway, El Alamein, Stalingrad, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge. The war ended in 1945 with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Japan's surrender. The aftermath included the establishment of the United Nations, division of Europe and Germany, war crimes trials, and reconstruction efforts in Germany and Japan. The postwar period also saw increased tensions and formation of military alliances as the Cold War between the Western allies and Soviet Union intensified.
The cold war_begins_2-19
Bernard Baruch, a US presidential advisor, first used the term "Cold War" in 1947 to describe rising geopolitical tensions between the US and USSR following World War II. These tensions arose as the US and USSR transitioned from wartime allies to ideological opponents, with the US adopting a policy of communist containment in Europe and elsewhere. The onset of the Cold War was marked by events like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, formation of NATO, and the 1948 Berlin Blockade.
Unit 4
The document discusses key events and developments during the Cold War era following World War II, including the division of Germany and Europe, establishment of military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact, conflicts in Korea and Cuba, and the global impacts of the Cold War. The Cold War involved intense strategic competition and proxy wars between the US and USSR as the dominant superpowers seeking to spread their influence and prevent the other's rise.

In the same month, the western part of Germany officially became a new
nation, the Federal Republic of Germany, also called West Germany. It included
West Berlin. A few months later, from its occupation zone, the Soviet Union creat-
ed the German Democratic Republic, called East Germany. It included East Berlin.
THE NATO ALLIANCE The Berlin
blockade increased Western European
fear of Soviet aggression. As a result,
ten Western European nations—
Belgium, Denmark, France, Great
Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Norway, and
Portugal—joined with the United
States and Canada on April 4, 1949, to
form a defensive military alliance
called the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO). (See map,
page 830.) The 12 members of NATO
pledged military support to one
another in case any member was
attacked. For the first time in its histo-
ry, the United States had entered into
a military alliance with other nations
during peacetime. The Cold War had
ended any hope of a return to U.S.
isolationism. Greece and Turkey joined
NATO in 1952, and West Germany
joined in 1955. By then, NATO kept a
standing military force of more than
500,000 troops as well as thousands of
planes, tanks, and other equipment.

Superpowers Struggle over Germany
As Europe began to get back on its feet, the United States and its allies clashed
with the Soviet Union over the issue of German reunification. At the end of World
War II, Germany was divided into four zones occupied by the United States, Great
Britain, and France i.
Modern us history
Following World War I, the United States adopted an isolationist stance. Starting in 1935, Congress even passed various neutrality acts to enforce the will against foreign entanglement. But by December of 1941, President Roosevelt’s formal declaration of war made this legislation irrelevant. Although America attempted isolationism, European and Asian affairs brought global tension that eventually hit the country’s traditional allies. An aim of World War I had been “to make the world safe for democracy”,

His 122 ch 29 the fair deal & containment
Truman faced many challenges in demobilizing the military after WWII and controlling inflation. His administration adopted an aggressive foreign policy towards the Soviet Union, leading to increased tensions and an arms race. The Cold War began as the US and USSR disagreed over influence in Eastern Europe and developed competing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The conflict escalated further in conflicts like the Korean War and an intensified Red Scare under McCarthyism.
Coldwar (1)
The Cold War began in 1945 after World War 2 and lasted until 1991. Key events that heightened tensions included conferences at Yalta and Potsdam where Churchill, Roosevelt, and later Truman tried to cooperate with Stalin on dividing post-war Europe and Germany. The USSR established communist governments in Eastern Europe behind an "Iron Curtain" and tensions grew over divided Berlin. The US responded with policies like the Truman Doctrine to provide aid to countries resisting communism and the Marshall Plan to rebuild Western Europe's economies. The Berlin Blockade and Allied airlift showed the conflict escalating further over the status of West Berlin deep in communist East Germany.
